POOR ALIGNMENT BETWEEN BRAKE AND THROTTLE PEDAL CAUSES RIGHT FOOT TO HIT THROTTLE UPON HEAVY BRAKE APPLICATION. THE SPRING TENSION ON THE THROTTLE IS RELATIVELY LIGHT, AND MANY PEOPLE MAY NOT NOTICE THAT THIS IS THE CAUSE OF ACCELERATION IN CRISIS SITUATIONS. COULD BE A SCENARIO IN MANY UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION ACCIDENTS. *AK

94V093000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission

May 16, 1994

SIGNIFICANT WEAR CAN DEVELOP ON THE LOW AND REVERSE CLUTCH PREVENTING THE PARK PAWL FROM ENGAGING. THIS CAN PREVENT A "NO PARK" CONDITION TO OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, CAUSING UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT OPERATOR ACTION. (THE "NO PARK" CONDITION WILL NOT OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS OFF.)

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: UNINTENTIONAL VEHICLE MOVEMENT COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR CONTAMINATION WHICH WILL INDICATE IF THE LOW OR REVERSE CLUTCH IS WORN. IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOWS CONTAMINATION, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED.
